lIMPRQ'VEI, BEDSTEAD.

The Schedule referred to in these Letten Patent und making .part of the lame.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I HARRY H. EVARTS, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bedsteads; and .I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings and the letters and figures marked thereon which form a part; of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical sectional view of my improved bedstead;

Figure 2, a transversefsectionaleview of the same; and

Figure 3, a. top view of the corner piece A, detached.

The nature of my invention consists in the corner pieces A that are secured to the inner corners of the bedstead-fmme, and provided with a flange, B, to which the bedstead-leg is secured, as hereafter more fully described.

To enable those skilled in the art to understand how to manufacture and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the same with particularity.

The same letters of reference refer to the corresponding parts in the different figures.

This improvement is more particularly adapted to be used in the manufacture of thebest kind of bedsteads.

The joints at the corners are made firm and secure by the pieces A which are screwed to the side and end pieces, holding them firmly together.

Any ornamental pieces likev the pieces B may be fastened in place by a. screw passing thm'ughthe piece A There is a flange, C, on the bottom of the corner piece A, and the leg D of the bedstead is firmly se cured to that flange by means of screws, the flange also forming a support for the bed-bottom. y l

' There is no danger of breaking the ange C by any weight resting upon'it, because it rests directly on top ofthe leg D of the bedstead.-

The bedstead may be made in any of the 'usual' styles, so far as the side and end pieces are concerned, and the' head-board and foot-board may be of any size `or design, it being simply the object of the corner piece A to be so formed that it will t intothe cor'- ner, and be suiciently large so that all the parts of the bedstead can be fastened to it by means of screws.
